Minnie's Room: The Peacetime stories of Mollie Panter-DownesMollie Panter-Downes1954

Ten stories describing aspects of British life in the years after the war. 'Minnie's Room' itself is about a family who are unable to believe that their maid wants to leave them to live in a room of her own. An elderly couple emigrates because of 'the dragon out to gobble their modest, honourable incomes.' The sisters in 'Beside the Still Waters' grumble because: 'Everything is so terribly difficult nowadays.'
